Gao Tao was also calmer than she thought. She didn't even have to explain. She shook off Zhang Yun's control, took the forty yuan from Feng Yanhong's hand, and put the money in her pocket as well.
He took off his apron and sleeves, took his things, and left the store without looking back.
"You, Sister Yanhong, just let her go like this?" Zhang Yun said in surprise.
"Yeah." Feng Yanhong watched Gao Tao's back disappear, and a strange emotion rose in her heart.
Things are so simple to understand!
"How could you just let her go like this?" Zhang Yun was indignant, feeling that Feng Yanhong was too polite to that person.
"Then what should we do? Looking at her like that, it must not be the first time she has done something like this. Even if she is sent to the police station, she will not admit it."
"Just the two dollars in her hand? That's not irrefutable evidence. She could have said that my money was lost, or some other excuse. Besides, even if the police come with two dollars, they won't be able to establish a case."
In this era, there are no cameras and cannot be recorded. If someone beats someone to death and refuses to admit it, even if the police come, there is nothing they can do.
"It's easy to ask the gods, but it's hard to send them to the gods. As long as she doesn't cause any more troubles, I will treat this as a loss of money and a disaster."
"What I'm afraid of now is that she has other tricks..."
Feng Yanhong always felt strange in her heart and couldn't help but think more about it.
"How dare she have a back-up plan?! She has done bad things herself, how dare she take revenge?"
Zhang Yun felt that Feng Yanhong was overthinking, and he also felt that people who had done wrong things did not have the courage to seek revenge.
Feng Yanhong was silent. It was best that she was overthinking.
"Sister Yanhong, I have something to discuss with you." When Zhang Yun and Feng Yanhong were picking vegetables together, Zhang Yun hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.
"Well, what happened?"
Zhang Yun licked his dry lips and said: "I may not be suitable for the jewelry business. I have been doing this for more than two months. Apart from eating and renting a house, almost all the remaining money is spent on goods."
"My taste is not as good as yours, and the goods you helped us buy are not as easy to sell. I see money coming in every day, but I can't save much."
"I just wanted to see if I could work with you and learn how to make cold noodles...I want to open a snack bar like you in the future..."
"Oh, you don't have to pay me wages, I..." Zhang Yun was particularly nervous, but she couldn't live without wages.
"How can you not pay your wages? How can you live if you really don't pay your wages? Then how can you pay the rent?"
Feng Yanhong also saw her embarrassment, but she just told her a joke.
"I will still pay you your wages. As long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you everything I know. Fifty yuan a month will provide you with three meals. If your business is good, I will give you a bonus. Do you think it can work?"
Feng Yanhong had been in the jewelry business and knew the ropes. Zhang Yun had some reservations about what he told her.
It's just that she has a longer-term vision. She thinks that running a snack shop will last longer, but she won't point it out.
"Fifty yuan a month, just take care of the food, no bonus required!" Zhang Yun was grateful when Feng Yanhong readily agreed.
"Then what to do with your goods?" Even if Zhang Yun had an idea before, she must have only made the decision within a day or two, so she must have a lot of goods in her hands.
"I'll handle it in the next few days. When I'm not busy, I'll come and help you. I'll definitely handle it in three days at most."
"Okay!" Then she would do less these days and not make noodles for the time being, which would keep her busy.
******
Early the next morning, Feng Yanhong unexpectedly saw Zhang Yun standing in front of the store.
"Didn't you say you want to clear out the goods? Why are you here?" Feng Yanhong quickly took out the key and opened the store door.
"Qiaozhen is back. I packed the goods for her to sell, so I came to work today." Zhang Yun's face was full of joy and he smiled a little shyly.
"Qiaozhen is back? The child has been found?" I have been running back and forth several times. This time I came back to pick up Zhang Yun's goods, which means that the child has been found.
"She found it, but she didn't take the child back. She said that the family over there has good conditions and can give the girl a good life."
Zhang Yun still somewhat sneered at Zheng Qiaozhen's behavior, but that was her own business, so how could she say anything about it.
After hearing Zhang Yun's words, Feng Yanhong couldn't help but frown, but she didn't comment and found other topics to talk about.
The two of them were busy picking and washing vegetables in the morning, when Aunt Ma and Gao Tao rushed to the front of the store aggressively.
"Feng Yanhong! Come out!" Aunt Ma sounded very angry and called her full name.
Feng Yanhong instantly started to care. It turned out that Gao Tao didn't argue with her yesterday because of her image as an honest person, right?
Today, we are going to use Aunt Ma as a gunman, let Aunt Ma turn against her, and disgust her in the process, right?
"Gao Tao! Why do you have the nerve to come here?" Zhang Yun was almost furious the moment he saw Gao Tao, and asked her with raised eyebrows, why did you have the nerve to come?
Gao Tao held Aunt Ma's arm, like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly shrank behind Aunt Ma.
"What are you yelling at? What are you yelling at? Are you bullying someone for being honest?" Aunt Ma also had a hot temper and immediately started yelling at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun didn't want to let her go, and wanted to continue arguing with her, but Feng Yanhong stopped him.
"Aunt Ma, don't be deceived. Don't you even ask why I let her go? What did she tell you?"
Feng Yanhong's calmness also infected Aunt Ma to a certain extent. Aunt Ma's aura had mostly subsided and she looked back at Gao Tao.
Gao Tao blinked her big eyes, feeling filled with tears. She bit her lip and shook her head gently, as if she had been greatly wronged.
I don’t know who has suffered the great injustice!
"Since she refuses to say it, let me do it." Feng Yanhong rolled her eyes at Gao Tao.
Gao Tao felt that she had no evidence and thought that Aunt Ma would believe her more, as she expected that there would be nothing she could do against her.
"Since the National Day, the accounts in my store have been out of sync. At first I didn't pay attention because I was busy. It just so happened that when my friend came yesterday, I happened to see her taking money out of my drawer. You said I should still pay attention to it.
Do you dare to keep her?"
When Aunt Ma heard that the store's accounts were inconsistent, her expression changed and she subconsciously looked at Gao Tao.
Feng Yanhong stared at Gao Tao closely, seeing no trace of panic in her eyes, and watching her tears falling down.
"Auntie, they, they slandered me. I just picked up more than one yuan on the ground yesterday and wanted to put it back in the drawer, but they, they didn't even let me explain."
The way Gao Tao looked now was pitiful and extremely wronged. She wished she could hold Aunt Ma in her arms and cry bitterly, accusing them both of their crimes.
Anyone who didn't know this would probably think that they had teamed up to bully Gao Tao.
